On Trivial Pursuits

Monday the Seventeenth of August, Two Thousand and Nine

Films what I need to see soon:

I never go to the movies, but lately there seems to be a lot of good movies out, or maybe I'm just more aware of them. Anyway, I'm making a list mostly for my own reference:

  1. Ponyo is at the Landmark Harbor East
  2. District 9 is at the Charles until Wednesday (stupid Friday-Wednesday schedule), then at Arundel Mills after that
  3. Paper Heart looks like it could be interesting, but it's only at the Charles until Wednesday and then isn't showing anywhere else around here, and it can wait until it's on DVD
Huh. Okay, I guess there were two movies out I need to see. I'd swear it felt like more. Or am I forgetting something? Nothing much at the AFI Silver until Who Framed Roger Rabbit weekend after next (although I missed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, for which I cannot quite forgive myself). The Senator is reduced to playing Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest. And I guess that's... pretty much all the theatres I actually enjoy going to.

Don't forget Moon, if you haven't seen it. 'Tis good.

I wanted to see that, but I missed it because of the Charles's silly one-weekend schedule. And it's not showing anywhere else around here that I can see.

Too bad. Not a must-see, but a decent evening's entertainment.

I also keep thinking there's more out I want to see, but as of the weekend, Ponyo and D9 were it. Probably nothing but a little AFI action until Extract comes out.

Moon disappeared from DC awfully fast. I almost missed it 3 weeks ago. Well, there is a 2:15 weekday show at the Landmark Row in Bethesda, but in that slot it may as well be playing on Mars.

Check out the movies at the harnbour name escapes, but they show pretty much the same fare as Landmark

Sumana, I had a dream last night that I dreamed that you had been hit by a car, and then I dreamed I woke up, and I read on your blog that you had been hit by a car. But the good news is that your blog was working!

Yeah, I totally miss your blog, Sumana. Serious withdrawals here. Also, I'm a bad person and never responded to your text. I'm getting kind of nervous about my imminent plunge from all the time in the world freelancer to tightly scheduled campus stomper, and it's exacerbating my hermity instincts.
